Decision Matrix Builder

beginnerproductivityMin 8K context

Helps make and document structured decisions. Elicits the options and the criteria that matter, assigns weights, scores each option, computes a weighted result, and runs a quick sensitivity check to show how robust the recommendation is. Produces a clear matrix plus a short written rationale suitable for an ADR or decision log.

Use Cases

  • Comparing tools or vendors against weighted criteria
  • Documenting a technical decision as an ADR
  • Making a hiring or roadmap trade-off transparent
  • Sanity-checking a choice with a sensitivity analysis

Example Prompt

Build a weighted decision matrix to choose a background job queue.

Options: Sidekiq, BullMQ, Temporal
Criteria I care about (help me weight them): reliability, operational overhead, language
fit (Node), observability, cost.

Steps:
1. Propose weights and confirm they sum to 100
2. Score each option per criterion (1-5) with a one-line justification
3. Compute the weighted totals and give a recommendation
4. Run a sensitivity check: which weight change would flip the decision?

Finish with a 4-sentence rationale I can paste into an ADR.
